Jordan Sucato, 15, lives in Phoenix, Arizona, an area the National Weather Service says is on track to have its hottest-ever summer. As the temperature in the air rises, so too does the temperature of the road, endangering the delicate pa w pads (爪垫) of dogs walking on it. Though all dogs are at risk, Jordan’s mission is to protect homeless dogs, or the pets of people who are unhoused. These pets often cover multiple miles a day outside. “Their paws can burn and blister in under five minutes,” Jordan says.
Through Laws for Paws LLC, the nonprofit Jordan founded in January, the teen has raised more than $7,000 for her mission, enough to provide protective boots for 515 dogs. Jordan’s funds support a partner organization, Dogs Day Out AZ, which distributes proper protective shoes, among other needed resources.
Jordan’s goal of raising $20,000 for protective boots comes at a critical time. Arizona’s Maricopa County has seen“an explosion of homelessness over the last several years,” says Phillip Scharf, CEO of Central Arizona Shelter Services. Not all shelters are able to welcome all kinds of pets; some can accept only documented emotional support or service animals. “People are making really profound decisions around care,” he says, “and they’re choosing to remain unsheltered because they want to make sure they can support their animal.” Even now, in what Scharf calls “the peak of the summertime heat,” pet owners who are unhoused may prioritize their pet’s needs above their own.
Jordan’s journey as an animal advocate started early. She says she “grew up volunteering” alongside her mom. When she was 8, the two helped out with the Luv of Dogz Fund, an Arizona-based nonprofit that advocates and provides resources for homeless, abused, and rescued dogs. Jordan says she developed her “absolute appreciation for animals” through her work with the organization.
Many kids care about animals and their welfare. What sets Jordan apart “Her passion and her spirit,” says Hebert. “Her knowledge. Her ambition. I wish all 15-year-olds in the world right now could be like Jordan.”
24. What is Jordan’s mission according to the first two paragraphs
A. To support a partner organization. B. To provide food for unsheltered dogs.
C. To protect unhoused pets from heat. D. To distribute boots to homeless people.
25. What does the phrase “the critical time” in paragraph 3 refer to
A. A time when pets’ homelessness worsens.
B. A time when shelters welcome all kinds of pets.
C. A time when protective boots are critical for dogs.
D. A time when the summertime heat reaches its peak.
26. What can we infer about pet owners from Scharf’s words
A. They try their best to cure their pet.
B. They have a strong love for their pet.
C. They give their pet too much emotional support.
D. They prefer remaining unsheltered with their pet.
27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. A Young Advocate’s Journey: Caring for Abused Pets
B. A Hero to Animals: A Teenager Devoted to Paw Protection

Storytelling is universal and is as ancient as humankind. Before there was writing, there was storytelling. It exists (and existed) to entertain, to inform, and to promote cultural traditions and values. Oral storytelling is telling a story through voice and gestures. The oral tradition can take many forms, including epic poems, chants, rhymes, songs, and more. Not all of these stories are historically accurate or even true. It can contain myths, legends, fables, prayers, proverbs, and instructions.
Like all native American tribes, the Choctaw have an oral storytelling tradition going back generations. Their stories were intended to preserve the tribe’s history and educate the young. For example, the Choctaw oral tradition includes two creation stories: One relates to migration from the west and another to creation from a mound. In addition, the oral tradition includes history as well as life lessons or moral teachings. Most of the Choctaw traditional tales employ animal characters to teach such lessons in a humorous manner.
The seanchai were the traditional Irish keepers of story. They would travel from village to village, reciting ancient lore and tales of wisdom. They told the old myths as well as local news and happenings. Tales of kings and heroes are the highlights in the Irish oral tradition.
The peoples of sub-Saharan Africa have strong storytelling traditions. In many parts of Africa, after dinner, the villagers gather around a central fire to listen to the storyteller. The griots have long been a vital part of Western African culture: they are storytellers, troubadours, and advisors to kings. They perform the functions of storytellers, genealogists, historians, ambassadors, and more. The griots are traditionally hereditary (世袭的), a profession passed from one generation to the next. There are also griot schools where more formal training can be offered. Both men and women can take up the profession.
Today, storytelling and interest in storytelling appear to be making a comeback. As one Irish storyteller puts it, “It’s a need for connection... I think storytelling nurtures connections with people in real life.”
28. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To emphasize the importance of storytelling.
B. To explain the artistic feature of storytelling.
C. To give a general introduction of storytelling.
D. To show the different patterns of storytelling.
29. Which of the following is a feature of the Choctaw traditional tales
A. Recording man’s migration journey.
B. Telling of local news and happenings.
C. Praising the brave deeds of kings and heroes.
D. Using animal characters to educate the young.
30. What can we infer from the storytelling traditions in sub-Saharan Africa
A. Storytellers are popular and receive high pay.
B. Storytellers are learned with high social positions.
C. Storytellers teach the young generations moral lessons.
D. Storytellers play an important role in economic development.
31. What can be the best title for the text
A. Storytelling Is on the Decline B. Storytelling Enjoys a Long History
C. Storytelling Keeps Cultures Alive D. Storytelling Is an Attractive Profession
D
It seems we’ve officially reached peak smartphone, with a growing number of Americans lining up for their very own “dumbphone” (非智能手机).Whether it’s nostalgia (怀旧), aesthetics or a final attempt to save the scraps of our mental health, there’s an obvious return in the longing to own a Nokia.
And it’s not just parents forcing dumbphones on their children, either. Younger generations are themselves opting out. According to Fast Company, dumbphone brands’ increase in demand is mostly driven by young users. With Gen Z’s love of the noughties culture, part of the dumbphone appeal depends on the throwback novelty of the flip phone. But despite this fashionable feature, dumbphone users have one main goal: to reduce screen time, and ultimately rescue their health. Many will know it as a “digital detox”.
For younger generations, phone use has essentially become a part-time job in regard to time and labor. According to a 2023 report by the nonprofit organization Common Sense, an average teen receives 237 notifications on their phone each day, spending around 4.5 hours on the screen.
It’s no secret that scrolling (滑动屏幕) on our phones is not a healthy pastime. A study found a direct connection between “doomscrolling” and mental and physical ill health. Doomscrolling is the continuous consumption of sad, scary or negative news online. Meanwhile, a 2020 study also revealed doomscrolling increased mental issues in young people.
“Smartphones compete for your attention and are designed to be addictive, so it’s not surprising that people are looking for ways they can prevent or limit their smartphone use,” the President of the Australian Psychological Society, Dr. Catriona Davis-McCabe, says.
32. What phenomenon is described in the first paragraph
A. Dumbphones are gaining popularity.
B. People tend to recall the good old days.
C. America has set limits on smartphone purchase.
D. A Nokia phone has become people’s first choice.
33. What is the younger generations’ attitude towards the use of dumbphones
A. Critical. B. Tolerant. C. Indifferent. D. Supportive.
34. What do we know about doomscrolling from the two studies
A. It fails to draw people’s attention. B. It is a creative form of entertainment.
C. It has a negative effect on people’s health. D. It enables people to be more sympathetic.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A. To recommend a dumbphone brand.
B. To clarify the definition of dumbphone.
C. To give a brief account of dumbphone history.
D. To illustrate the reasons for getting a dumbphone.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You probably say “thank you” often, such as when a friend holds the door, a teacher stays after class to help you with a problem, or a grandparent sends a gift for your birthday. Showing gratitude makes others feel good but it also helps you feel more joyful and less sad or stressed. It is also something you can practice year-round.
36 Take a few minutes to think about what you’re grateful for. Is it someone or something that makes you happy or makes you laugh Is it someone you know— like a parent, teacher or coach who helps support you, even when you don’t ask Is it something that makes your life better 37 It can also be something you have that you realize others may not have.
Try getting into the routine of noticing the things you’re grateful for while you’re going about your day. 38 You could also write what you’re grateful for on colorful scraps of paper and save them in a jar. Whenever you need a mood boost, you can take them out to remind yourself of what makes you feel happy and thankful.
39 At the table, you can suggest that each person take a turn to share at least one thing they feel thankful for. You can also discuss taking a meditative “gratitude walk” between dinner and dessert, to appreciate the company of the people in your life and the natural beauty of the outdoors.
Giving your time to others helps them. 40 For example, if you sweep the leaves or remove snow for an elderly neighbor you can take a moment to feel thankful that you were able to make their day easier. If you help a sibling with their homework, you can feel good about sharing your knowledge.
A. But it can also benefit you as well.
B. It helps you feel hopeful and positive.
C. You can carry out a “gratitude search”.
D. You can make a quick note or write them on sticky notes.
E. You could write a note of thanks to your family members.
F. Maybe it’s an activity or a hobby you enjoy doing with others.
G. Dinnertime is a perfect time to exchange feelings of gratitude with family.

When reflecting on the shift from childhood to adulthood, many of us often go over the memories that have shaped our lives. Among these memories, there is usually one teacher who remains 41 even after many years have passed. These outstanding 42 can make a lasting influence on us whether it is positive or negative.

One memory that 48 to me is that our teacher, Mrs Stacks, would 49 spelling bees on Thursdays to help us remember our spelling words. What was 50 remarkable about these bees was that every single person in the class 51 at least a “B” on their spelling test the following day.
I believe the reason for Mrs Stacks’ 52 among students was rooted in her genuine love and care towards us. Whenever we performed well, she would 53 and motivate us to excel even more.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Henry owns a promising company. For the last few years, his company has worked with the American Heart Association to develop an app that offers training for CPR (心肺复苏) and other lifesaving skills.
Before the launch of the app, Henry had to review the app to ensure that everything looked good and was performing well. As part of his evaluation, Henry went through every screen many times. This included reviewing many questions about first aid, such as the correct positions for giving chest compressions (按压) and rescue breaths. At the time, his only focus was making the app work perfectly.
From testing and using the app, Henry gained a great deal of first aid knowledge, information key to saving people’s lives in emergencies. Little did he know that these skills he had picked up by chance would soon become crucial in an unexpected moment of accident.
His family were at a social gathering one day when little Beckham, Henry’s son, saw a foam noodle (泡沫) floating in a pool. With no one looking, the boy went in after that noodle. He walked down a couple of steps and reached out for it. Instead, his little hand pushed it away. Beckham chased after the noodle again, only this time in water deeper than he could handle.
A teenager, who was the first to notice Beckham floating face down, jumped in, pulled Beckham out and placed him on his back alongside the edge of the pool. His body was lifeless, his face purple. The teenager started screaming.
From about 30 feet away, Henry heard a chilling scream off to his right. He turned towards it. Because of people in the way, all he could see was a pair of tiny legs wearing black swimming shorts and black shoes. Recognizing it was his son, he raced over.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Nobody knew what to do except Henry.
